Is there any more input on this? At this point I would recommend
committing this patch _without_ these dlisti functions, i.e. we will
only have the functions that check for NULL-initialized dlists. We can
later discuss whether to include them or not (it would be a much smaller
patch and would not affect the existing functionality in any way.)
